11.3 Console Mode
The FriendlyNET FR3004C/FR3004LC Cable/ DSL Routers feature a special console mode. If you forget the Administrator’s password or IP ad- dress of the router, use the following procedure to reset them.
1.Connect a null modem cable from your router’s COM port to your com- puter’s serial port.
Note: Do not use a Standard Straight Through Modem cable. A null modem ca- ble or adapter can be purchased from your local electronics dealer.
1.Run a terminal emulation program (for example, HyperTerminal for Win- dows or Zterm for Macintosh).
2.Your terminal connection parameters should be 19200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, and one stop bit.
3.Turn your router OFF and ON.
4.When the router’s COM port LED indicator flashes, press the Enter key on your com- puter several times. The “>” symbol should appear on your screen.
5.To reset the IP address or Administrator’s password, type the following commands in your terminal emulation program. For ex- ample:
To reset the IP Address, type:
IP 192.168.123.254 <Enter>
SR <Enter>
To reset the Administrator password, type:
PW admin <Enter>
SR <Enter>
The SR command is used to save the changes you have requested.
